Abstract:

A miniaturized power divider design method by replacing the λ/4 transmission line with an equivalent circuit is proposed. By using Ferro A6 LTCC substrates with the multi-layer dielectric constant of 5.9, a bandwidth of 200MHz, the center frequency of 1.616GHz multilayer power divider is designed and measured by use of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology. Its performance can be comparable to the Wilkinson power divider, with its size being 3.2mm×1.6mm×0.9mm, which is less than 1/10 of the Wilkinson power divider.

Key words: power divider, λ/4 transmission line, low temperature co-fired ceramic
